This document contains draft nifti-zarr specifications for storing neuroimaging data in the cloud.
- Zarr is a format for the storage of chunked, compressed, N-dimensional arrays inspired by HDF5, h5py and bcolz.
- OME-NGFF (Next Generation File Format) is a format based on zarr for the storage of biomedical imaging data.
- NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) is a single-file/single-resolution storage format for 3D+ neuroimaging data.
- BIDS (Brain Imaging Data Structure) is a simple and intuitive way to organize and describe data.
